1 Natural Remedies for Common Health Conditions A guide to herbs and supplements for specific health problems. by Steven H. Horne

2 Introduction Herbs have been used as man's medicine and food for thousands of years. They are not primitive substitutes for modern drugs. In fact, they do not work like chemical drugs at all. Plants contain the principle of life, something synthetic chemicals will never possess. They were designed by the Creator to work in harmony with the natural processes of our bodies. While most modern medicines are designed to suppress symptoms, herbs support the natural function of body systems and help the body heal itself. This booklet is a guide to herbs and nutritional supplements which have been used to help various disease conditions. The secret to successful herb therapy is to find out which systems are out of balance and take the appropriate herbs and supplements to balance those systems. Hence, for many conditions I have indicated different possible causes and various remedies for each underlying cause. For example, high blood pressure can result from hardening of the arteries, kidney problems, liver problems and stress. Therefore, I have recommended remedies for each of these underlying causes. Similarly, fatigue can have over a dozen different causes and I have suggested different possibilities for each cause. Herbs and supplements by themselves are not sufficient to restore a person to complete health. Proper diet, rest, exercise, mental attitudes and other factors are also important. This booklet also provides some basic suggestions for other natural therapies which can aid certain disorders. A small booklet such as this is completely inadequate to answer all the questions a person might have about various disease conditions. However, it does serve as a handy, quick reference to many common health problems. For more detailed information, let me recommend my course, The Body System's Approach to Natural Healing. It will provide more detailed information on how to use herbs and supplements effectively. To learn how to better determine which body systems are out of balance in a given individual, I have compiled a more advanced course, The Master of Holistic Healing Course. This program does not provide the detailed product information which the Body System's course does. Instead, it focuses on constitutional analysis, body typing, muscle testing and iridology as assessment tools

3 A Acid Indigestion Carminatives and stomachics (Safflowers, Catnip, Catnip and Fennel, Peppermint oil) help to settle the stomach. Stomach Comfort and calcium neutralizes excess stomach acid. Red Raspberry Blend may also help. Acne Acne is a sign of a general toxic condition of the blood. To clear up acne, start by cleansing the colon (Aloe Vera, Chickweed, Psyllium, Special Formula #1, Tiao He Cleanse, etc.). Also use blood purifiers (Dandelion, Burdock, Red Clover, Yellow Dock, BP-X,Daily Enviro Detox ). In teenagers, acne can be a sign of hormonal problems. Try adding glandulars for females (C-X, FC w/dong Quai, FCS-II) or males (PS-II or X-A) to the program. Large doses of vitamin A sometimes prove helpful. The thyroid may be involved (Kelp, TS-II, KC-X). Reducing fat intake and otherwise improving one's diet is a must for a complete cure. Cat's Claw Combination (Una de Gato) may also help. Addictions To help someone going through drug withdrawal try nervines (Catnip, STR-J, RE-X), blood purifiers (Chaparral, Burdock, BP-X, BP-C) and blood sugar regulators (Licorice Root, Chromium). These help to ease withdrawal symptoms. Seek appropriate assistance for serious addictions. Aging The following may help slow the aging process or reduce its effects: Gotu Kola, Siberian Ginseng, IMM-C, GGC, Master Gland, X-A, L-Glutamine, Melatonin, Pantothenic Acid, Chelated Cell Minerals, Mineral Maintenance, Suma Combination, Barley Juice Powder, Target Defense.

4 Alcoholism Kudzu/St. John's Wort helps reduce alcohol cravings while lessening withdrawal symptoms.

Allergies, Respiratory Respiratory allergies may be aided by expectorants and decongestants (Four, Lobelia, SN-X, BRN-AV, AL-J, LH) which break up mucus and help to expel it from the body. Bowel cleansing (Tiao He Cleanse, Hydrated Bentonite, Special Formula #1) is a must for complete relief.
